Chapter 194 The Mysterious Case of the Blood Letter
After asking about the bad things that happened in the Imperial College in the past two days and satisfying his curiosity, Li You turned to ask about being imprisoned, "How do I register my name? Can I do it today?"
Although Li Siye was a little absent-minded, he still replied: "The matter of taking the prison and registering names has never been under the control of the Imperial College. In previous years, tribute students were registered at the Ministry of Rites, and they were sent to the Imperial College after a centralized examination. Although the supplementary prison does not
After the examination, it is estimated that the name will be listed by the Ministry of Rites according to the tribute supervisor."
It turned out that he worshiped at the wrong temple door, Li You sighed inwardly. He was not familiar with matters such as the imperial examination school, and according to the habit of his previous life, he thought that he should go to the school to register. Who knew that this should be done at the Ministry of Etiquette. He asked again: "Study a lot.
Can there be regulations for a long time?”
Li Siye didn't know either: "The imperial court has not made it clear yet, so I don't know whether it is based on the tribute supervisor system."
Li You continued to ask: "Do you know how to study? Or should I take the exam or study on my own when it expires?"
Li Siye continued not to know: "The move to replenish the prison has never been done before, and the Imperial Academy does not dare to do it on its own. Let's wait for the imperial court to make it clear."
It's really hard to know... Li You felt that today's trip was completely in vain, "So you don't know whether you can live in a room or not, and whether you can wear a prison uniform or not?"
Li Siye shook his head, he really didn't know. These days, the Imperial College has little autonomy. Everything from homework and books to food and clothing must be ordered by the court.
The so-called room, dormitory, prison uniform, school uniform, these names are the same as prison, which makes the time traveler Mr. Li feel very nonsensical. Every time he hears it, he always has the illusion that he is going to be reformed through labor. But these days, the days of prison students are
It is indeed similar to going to jail. Anyone who has the ability will find a way to keep his name.
Besides, Li You, who is an official fan, doesn't want to squeeze into a room as big as a palm with others, let alone take off his official robe, which is more important than his life.
Regarding today's visit to the Imperial College, Li You expressed that he was speechless. He didn't know anything in the prison. It was a pity that he came and went for more than an hour and a half, and the twenty-mile journey was all in vain.
It is estimated that although the matter of supplementary supervision is very important to him and is related to the springboard for promotion, it is really insignificant in the eyes of the court bosses. What is the priority of a group of people who are stepping stones to the officialdom below the eighth rank? It has been ignored and no clear regulations have been set up yet.
.
There was nothing more to say. Li You raised his eyes to look at the sun, planning to invite Si Ye, who seemed to be a better person, to have a drink with him. He might be able to ask for him in the future.
But Li Siye politely refused, which surprised Li You.
In Li Tuiguan's impression, Beijing officials, especially those in the Qingshui Yamen who are the second-in-command in the Imperial College, are much poorer than foreign officials, and they generally won't miss any opportunity to eat and drink for free. And this Li Si
How could it not be surprising that Ye declined his invitation?
Maybe he is just honest, worthy of being an academic officer named Li, and he wants to set an example for others... Li You, a civil servant with this idea, said goodbye: "When we meet in the future, please take care of me, Sir, and bear in mind the five things. In addition,
While you are paying for the wine, please also apologize to me. I committed an unintentional sin today and I understand that I was wrong."
Li Siye nodded and said, "Master Fei was born in the Hanlin Academy and has a higher outlook. Don't worry about it."
Li You was in awe after hearing the words, Hanlin... In the pyramid of civil servants, if the bottom level is the officials and supervisors, the middle level is the examiners, and the upper level is the Jinshi. Then the Hanlin is the top of the tower, and Li You can't see it even if he stands on tiptoe and looks up at 90 degrees.
The presence.
Those who have won the Jinshi are already the pride of heaven, so they can only enter the Hanlin Academy by selecting the best among the Jinshi in each subject. Once they become a Hanlin official, they are regarded as the prime minister, and they are the elite among the elites. They have the highest rank and the fastest promotion.
, take care of those who have a good position first. According to unwritten rules, non-Hanlin officials cannot be admitted to the cabinet, and non-Hanlin officials cannot be officials or ministers of rites.
Li You saw a living Hanlin for the first time, and after sighing, he had some questions, "Looking at Fei Jijiu, he seems to be quite young..."
Li Siye sighed: "Master Fei has been making sacrificial wine for eleven years."
Immediately, Fei Jiujiu fell from the sky to the ground in Li You's heart. It seemed that this was a Hanlin that was not doing well. Because the Hanlin Academy was a fifth-rank yamen, and the Imperial Academy's Jijiujiu was a fourth-grade position, and it was relatively honest.
Official position, so the Imperial College has traditionally been the springboard for promotion of Hanlin officials. Hanlin officials often transitioned to the position of offering wine in the Imperial College, and then were directly promoted to ministers or ministers.
Fei Hanlin sat in the position of offering wine to the Imperial Academy for eleven years... This can be called the most failed Hanlin. For others, reaching the fourth rank is considered a success, but for Hanlin, he finally became a fourth rank with no real power.
That's too bad. Even if you go out to participate in politics, it will be much better than this.
He chatted with Li Siye for a few more words, and seeing that the other party really refused to invite him, Li You had to go back to the mansion. When changing into casual clothes, he suddenly found that the stack of prisoner's papers was still in his sleeve. This was because the prisoner mistakenly thought that he was the imperial concubine.
Shi Cai blocked the road and presented it.
Li You couldn't restrain his curiosity and opened the article to read.
At the beginning of the text, there were a few lines of bloody characters, which startled Li You - "Idiots like Jiang Gongliang, Xie Yunzhong, Wang Tang, Zheng Yong, Lu Mai, and Cai Wangzhi fell down and knelt down at the gate in tears."
These six people were the supervisors who asked the Queen Mother to return to power. I dare say this is a blood letter written by them. Li You's heart became heavy. After reading it silently, he felt that he had picked up a hot potato inexplicably, and his luck was a bit bad.
The content of the report was very simple. The six people from Yique identified that they were instigated by Fei Jijiu in order to seek credit... and entrusted three classmates to forward the blood letter to Yousi.
In fact, the number of people who jointly signed the letter to Yi Que was supposed to be nine, but three of them did not go for some reason. In fact, it was the six people whose names were written in blood who are now being detained in the Imperial College awaiting processing.
The blood letter was entrusted by the Sixth Supervisor to three other colleagues to find an opportunity to hand it over to the inspector. As a result, it fell into the hands of the counterfeit Li You. It must be said that the aura of the protagonist is too powerful.
Li You sighed. Judging from the contents of the blood letter, the inner story of the Yique incident was quite complicated. Just analyzing why the sixth supervisor did not expose it earlier but came out to report it now is enough to make people guess.
How to deal with the blood book, his first thought was to destroy it completely, but after a second thought, he rejected this idea. Today, in full view of everyone, it was useless for him to destroy it.
It's better to hand this thing over as soon as possible tomorrow, and don't keep it in your own hands, Li You thought. Afraid of getting burned, he secretly found some sealing mud to seal the blood book, and then forged it to pretend that he had never opened it.
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Li You went out for business and needed to go to the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The Ministry of Rites was in the south of the Forbidden City, next to the *** Square in his previous life, next to Zhengyang Gate, known as the gate of the country, and only three or four meters away from the guild hall.
Li. The Imperial Procuratorate is relatively far away, on the west side of the capital, passing by the Ministry of Rites on the road.
So he decided to go to the Ministry of Rites to register his name first, and then go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to submit a blood letter.
Not half an hour after leaving the house, Li You entered the yamen of the Ministry of Rites and went to the outer hall. There were several clerks who were so busy talking that they didn't bother to look at Li You, a stranger.
"Have you heard the news? Someone died in the Imperial College last night, six students!"
"This is no small matter..."
"Yes, these six are the six that Yi Que wrote the day before yesterday. They died like this last night. This is very interesting, tsk tsk."
"I heard that the blood letters of the six people were handed over to a fake censor. We are currently tracing this person, and we don't know who he is."
None of the minor officials in the outer hall of the Ministry of Rites noticed that a certain seventh-rank official who was standing quietly in front of the hall heard their conversation, his eyes were like bells, and his face turned pale...
